Answer:

"Confronting the Cold War"

Step-by-step explanation:

Ronald Wilson Reagan was an American actor and politician, the 40th president of the United States between 1981 and 1989 and the thirty-third governor of the state of California between 1967 and 1975.

The second Reagan period was marked mainly by foreign affairs, the most important being the end of the Cold War, the bombing of Libya and the revelation of the Iran-Contra scandal. Previously the president had ordered a massive military increase for the close struggle against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), leaving behind the strategy of détente. He publicly described the USSR as the "evil empire" and supported anti-communist movements throughout the world through the so-called Reagan Doctrine. He negotiated the INF Treaty for nuclear disarmament with the Soviet Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev, achieving the reduction of the nuclear arsenals of both countries.
